Dennis Keller Killed in Kerrville Two-Vehicle Crash on Interstate 10

Kerrville, Texas (February 5, 2022) – One person was killed, and another was critically injured Thursday night in a two-vehicle crash in Kerrville, according to the police.

The fatal crash happened around 9:29 p.m., February 3, on Interstate 10 near mile marker 510.

Police said a tractor-trailer was traveling westbound on the interstate when the driver tried to slow down due to standstill traffic amid the icy road conditions. The tractor-trailer flipped on its side, slid, and collided with a Ford F-350 pickup truck that was stopped due to traffic.

The Ford driver, Dennis Nelson Keller, 60, of Kerrville, and his 43-year-old passenger were taken to Peterson Regional Medical Center in Kerrville, where Keller later died while the passenger was listed in critical condition. 

The icy road conditions were a major contributing factor to the crash.

The police are investigating the crash.

Common Causes of Automobile Accidents

There are many different reasons why automobile, 18-wheeler, and motorcycle accidents occur, including driver negligence, driver inattention, texting and driving, speeding, fatigue, failure to yield the right of way from a stop sign or private drive, running a red light, and driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
